Tue, Sep 4th – Goodland, KS to Garden of the Gods Campground, Colorado Springs, CO



It’s been a little warm dry camping at Wal-Marts especially at bedtime, but Chuck’s homemade 12-V fan with 3-hr timer on it has worked great for getting to sleep--though we reach for the covers as the temperatures drop during the night. The head wind continued today as we drove what is referred to as the “high plains”. We passed an area of cute little prairie dogs, saw UPS trucks towing THREE trailers, and saw 75-mph speed limit signs. Shortly after crossing the Colorado border, the altimeter on Chuck’s watch indicated that we were a MILE HIGH! Soon after, we got our first glimpse of Pikes Peak. We pulled into the campground about 1:00. I took advantage of having a laundry across the street and Chuck got us all set up on the internet. Now maybe I can catch up with this blog!
